Your Home for College Basketball TV and Streaming
College basketball doesn't follow one tidy TV roadmap. Nonconference matchups give way to conference races, games bounce between national networks and streaming-only platforms, and March brings a postseason avalanche that can turn even experienced fans into amateur bracketologists.
That's where CableTV.com's college basketball TV guide comes in. Use this page to find viewing information for men's and women's teams, sort through regular-season channels and streamers, and follow March Madness from Selection Sunday through the national championship games.
Find your favorite college basketball team
Men’s and women’s programs can share a school name without sharing the same TV schedule. That’s why we’ve separated our team guides below. Open the men’s or women’s list to jump straight to your school’s schedule, channels, and best streaming options.
Build your regular-season viewing plan
Before brackets take over the conversation, college basketball offers months of games spread across broadcast networks, sports channels, conference networks, and standalone streaming services.
Our main viewing guide breaks down the big picture so you can figure out which combination makes the most sense for the teams and conferences you follow.
We examined dozens of TV providers to find the best ones for watching college basketball. Read our expert review to see which services get you the most NCAA basketball coverage this season.
Navigate conference channels and streaming platforms
Some of the hardest college basketball games to find aren’t the marquee matchups — they’re the early-season games and deeper conference matchups that land on conference networks or streaming-only platforms. These guides can help you decode the acronyms in your team’s schedule before tip-off.
